Mark Byrne (born 9 November 1988) is an Irish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Gillingham.
Byrne signed for Nottingham Forest in July 2007 from Dublin schoolboy side, Crumlin United after unsuccessful trials at Leicester City and Stoke City. He was named as a substitute in Forest's 1–1 draw at home to Walsall in March 2008. He then made his professional debut for Forest as a 70th-minute substitute on 5 April 2008 in a 3–1 victory against Cheltenham Town.
With the Reds gaining promotion, manager Colin Calderwood commented that he would be given the chance to impress next season after Forest's promotion to the Championship in the upcoming 2008–09 season.
On 13 March 2009, Byrne was sent on loan to Conference National side Burton Albion for the remainder of the season, featuring in seven of the remaining eleven fixtures before being promoted, as champions, to the Football League.
On 20 July 2009, Byrne joined Conference National side Rushden & Diamonds on an initial six-month loan, but eventually signed on for the rest of the season. The Irishman made 44 appearances with Rushden & Diamonds in 2009–10 scoring seven goals in the process, including the equaliser in Diamonds' Conference Premier Semi-Final First Leg vs Oxford United. He received two awards at the end-of-season presentation night. He left Nene Park at the end of his loan spell at the season's end.
